Anaemia is a condition in which you lack enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your body's tissues. Anaemia results from a lack of red blood cells or dysfunctional red blood cells in the body. This leads to reduced oxygen flow to the body's organs. Anaemia has three main causes: blood loss, lack of red blood cell production, and high rates of red blood cell destruction. Anaemia affects over 800 million women worldwide. In India, it is classified as a major public health problem as it is estimated that 52% of non-pregnant women of reproductive age are anaemic.

Benefits of Homeopathy

Natural Homeopathic treatment is effective to increase the haemoglobin level. It can be safely used among people of all age groups, even during Anaemia in pregnancy. Homeopathic treatment could be a ray of hope for such patients; homeopathic treatment recommends natural sources instead of supplements. Homeopathic treatment works towards removing or reducing the tendency of anaemia and tackling the causative factors, rather than temporarily treating the condition or offering symptomatic relief.
